Human-computer dialogue is already a rather mature research field [10] that already boiled down to several commercial applications, either service or task-oriented [11]. Nevertheless, several issues remain to be tackled, when unrestricted, spontaneous dialogue is concerned: barge-in (when users interrupt the system or interrupt each other) must be properly handled, hence Voice Activity Detection is a crucial point [13]. Moreover, when multi-party interactions are allowed (i.e., the machine engages simultaneously in dialogue with several users), supplementary robustness constraints occur: the speakers have to be properly tracked, so that each utterance is mapped to a certain speaker that had produced it. This is needed in order to perform a reliable analysis of input utterances [2].
